Good Coffee Table Book

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2023

Verified Purchase

It's the perfect size for a coffee table book. The vinyl cover looked used and damaged, but the hardback book was in new condition. I just took the damaged vinyl cover off because the color of the hardback goes well with my leopard print decor.

My husband used to send me greeting cards from this line of photographs. I've kept them all these years; they bring back such sweet memories.

This book was listed as new but the cover is old and worn. The cover has valuable artwork and it is worn. It looks used. There is damage to the inside back cover also. The book itself looks good

これぞキムアンダーソン(o^-')b !

アンダーソンファンには絶対お薦め☆
キムアンダーソンさんって、つくづく凄いと思います。こんなに素敵な作品を作るなんて。キッズは可愛いし、モノクロに差した色、設定がオシャレで、写真には疎い私でも素敵だなぁ、うまいなぁ～って思っちゃいます。見てるとつい笑顔になりますよね。高校生の時からカレンダーやカードをコレクションしてたファンですが、ずっと手に入らず、もうムリかなって諦めていただけに、久しぶりにアンダーソンを探してみたら、作品集の取扱店があって、ホントに嬉しかった～(*≧∀≦*)部屋で飾り用にケースに入っていた雑誌と代えてしまいました。ますますのファンになりました♪ホントに素敵☆びーっしり作品だらけで、いくつか並んで物語になってたり。お気に入りがある方は特にお薦め。私もその一人で、届くまでワクワク、届いたら、他の事全部放り出して、見始めたら何も出来ないくらい引き込まれました(*≧∀≦*)作品を一気に見ながら可愛い～って何回騒いだかf(^_^;

ずっとキムアンダーソンの作品集を探していました。CDROMは購入したのですが、本として欲しかったのでかなり嬉しかったです。キムアンダーソンの世界が広がっていました。何度見ても飽きの来ない子供の写真。モノトーンの中にある色の世界や、表情、全てにおいてかってよかったって思う一冊です。魅力がぎっしり詰まっていました。
